What must you be sure of according to the third rule of firearm safety?

  1. Your aim

  2. The target and what is in front of it and beyond it

  3. The safety lock is engaged

  4. That the firearm is clean

The correct answer is: The target and what is in front of it and beyond it

According to the third rule of firearm safety, it is important to be sure of the target and what is in front of it and beyond it. This ensures that there are no unintended targets or people in the line of fire. Option A is incorrect because although having proper aim is important, it is not the primary focus of the third rule. Option C is incorrect because while engaging the safety lock is important for firearm safety, it is not specifically mentioned in the third rule. Option D is incorrect because while keeping a clean firearm is important for its proper function, it is not directly related to the third rule of firearm safety. Therefore, the best choice is option B.
